Forge World have two new pieces up for pre-order, letting you attack your enemies from some unexpected angles.

Death From Above

First, Forge World are releasing a new Legion Dreadnought Drop Pod to send these mighty champions of the Emperor falling out of the sky.

Drop Pod assaults are already a devastating tactic, allowing you to drop troops behind the enemy lines where they least expect it. Bring a Dreadnought along for the ride and you will be dishing out some serious damage.

Death From Below

This model is a massive troop transport that drills through the earth to deliver your army deep into enemy territory.

We previously saw this figure among a series of previews from Forge World. It received a somewhat mixed response, with some (myself included) loving its pulp, almost Verne-ian style, while others made some more unflattering comparisons.

In the end, I think this is a great piece that will serve well as a centrepiece for a force of the Omnissiah's chosen.

It looks like the Omnissiah’s chosen are finally taking engineering lessons from the orks, guess it must be new cannon (lol). It does have a lot of nice details, so for the right person this would be a great model however it does seem to be a hit or miss model.

So does anyone see a fundamental design flaw with that drill? It’s not drilling where the tracks are. It’s not going anywhere underground, and at £325, it’s not going home with me either. Even £65 for that drop pod is ridiculous.

I am guessing it is not your number one objection, but i think the tracks are to take it to where it starts drilling not to move it once it starts.

In terms of price, judgements are always subjective, every model is too expensive when you’re not interested in it and great value when you are. I personally wouldn’t buy this one, but there are other models at Forge World that have tempted me more than once.
